Bleeding of prostatic origin is usually caused by the friable hypervascularity of the aging prostate. Suppression of angiogenesis can be achieved through any hormonal manipulation that causes androgen deprivation. We present 4 cases of severe recurrent hematuria treated successfully by this approach.
